Rear passengers can direct the flow of heat or cooling with adjustable vents in the rear of the center console.

Passengers enjoy plenty of leg and toe room with a flat floor (no hump) and generous space under the front seats.

The center armrest folds down to reveal two built-in cup holders.

Dashboard

The RDX dashboard sports the dual-cockpit design found on all Acura models. With its elegant shapes, refined materials and intuitive functionality, it was smartly designed to enhance your driving enjoyment.

The available On Demand Multi-Use Display��� (ODMD™) touchscreen contains primary controls for both audio and phone functions freeing up the navigation screen for at-a-glance viewing and information relating to (or independent from) the lower touchscreen.

Drivers can operate the most frequently used functions directly from the steering wheel, while traditional hard climate controls are located on the center panel.

The Multi-Information Display (MID) located between the speedometer and tachometer can be controlled from the steering wheel and provides a wealth of information from tire pressure to average MPG. Models with the AcuraWatch Plus package have a full-color MID. On models with both the AcuraWatch Plus and Technology Packages, this display can also show turn-by-turn directions.

Models equipped with the HomeLink® system can be programmed using up to three distinct frequencies to consolidate garage or gate remotes.

PERFORMANCE

Power Curve

The 3.5-liter i-VTEC® engine pumps out a powerful 279 horsepower and 252 lbs.-ft. of torque. The broader torque curve results in a more immediate and powerful acceleration response you'll feel every time you hit the gas.

Shift On Demand

The steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters work in two ways. In "Drive," they make quick on-demand gear changes before returning to automatic operation once a steady speed is reached. In "Sport," the first paddle shift puts you in full manual mode.

TECHNOLOGY

Well Connected

The RDX connects to you and the world around it with available AcuraLink®[2]. Stream internet media like Facebook or NPR, check emails and texts, lock and unlock doors remotely, and get directions or make reservations via live, 24/7 concierge service. You can even send a location from your smartphone or PC to the navigation system as a ready-to-drive route and, once on the road, AcuraLink® Real-Time Traffic™[3] continuously monitors traffic data to provide turn-by-turn directions to help you avoid any congestion.

Efficiently efficient

All-aluminum engine construction and a hollow camshaft lighten the engine for secure handling while Variable Cylinder Management™ (VCM®) enables the RDX to run on three cylinders during highway cruising for significantly improved fuel-efficiency.

Since an under-inflated tire impedes handling and can be a safety hazard, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) uses pressure sensors mounted in each wheel that send readings to a central electronic control unit. The system then evaluates whether the pressure is in an acceptable range.

If a reading is approximately 25% below the recommended level, the RDX will alert the driver through the instrument panel light and the Multi-Information Display (MID)

The problem tire will be indicated, along with the individual pressure for all four tires. The pressure display can also be accessed anytime, using the MID controls on the steering wheel.

As useful as TPMS is, it is still recommended that you manually check your tires on a regular basis.
